Time for a new axle. That doesn’t look OEM, and if grease isn’t flinging out, it’s been run dry and will fail anytime.

I like my ASFIR skids. Not perfect, but I think the best value out there. Mine are beat up pretty good, but that’s why they’re there. I don’t like the center bolt / sleeve. It focuses any hit on a very small spot, and easy to crush the recessed...

There is no advantage to leaving the driveshaft off. The whole differential mass is spinning one way or the other. What you would lose is the advantage of all wheel drive, which can be a benefit when it does rain or if you are on a loose...

It seems likely. If the center diff is locked and you turn the front wheels far it will cause binding (especially on a dry, firm surface). You should not lock the diff (when both driveshafts are on) on pavement. It only takes a few minutes to...

00 LX with my 87 Runner 3.4 5.29's dual case My son's LX 570 4wd

We stopped by Capitol Reef National Park on our way to Moab, Utah. This is just .1% of what this amazing place is all about. As always the newly serviced AHC in delivered as advertised in that sub 500-mile road trip from Vegas. The abs, traction...

I also believe that’s a spot to clip a wire harness to.

After we lost control on gravel and hit a tree (low speed, no one hurt), I went on the hunt for another 100 within our budget, which was not easy. I bought the one we totaled (a 1998 LX470) 9 years ago with 121,000 miles for $10,500. That rig...

This "creeper" just showed up and I'm telling you it is a game-changer.

For people looking for answers here- if your timing marks are good all your sensors etc look good- it could be that your crank sensor plate (the brass disc behind the crank pulley) is on backwards. Its dished outward, and today I had it on wrong...

I couldn't fight the urge anymore so I tried the sunroof on my 2000 LC. It works great!

Used it to escape July 4 fireworks for the dog...who wouldn't stay in the picture. Not pictured: the 3" gash in the sidewall up front. :bang:

I've had 555 lower ball joints for about 80k miles now. Solid as ever.

After 10,853 miles, 3 cracks in my windshield and two oil changes ,I just got back from my Alaska/Arctic circle trip that I took w/ my teenage daughter. These LC are a true testament to great engineering, I had zero issues on my trip. The trip...

Took a short easy drive up to Summit Lake outside of Truckee, CA. I got up there early and it was super peaceful and perfect weather.

I think increase in ambient temperature would be the cause of increase in condensation.

Finally back home. The emergency breakaway system (RVI Brake 3) trigged in the LX, not sure why because there was not a breakaway and the safety pin was still in place on the tow gear. When the system triggers, it presses the brake pedal down to...

That got to be hub grease. The hub got over heated and melted the grease into a liquid and passed through the gasket at the outer flange which supposed to hold viscos grease. Brake fluid cannot get into the hub. You might want to check the grease...

That is a jam nut.

My first fan bracket failure occurred on the LX at approximately 230,000 miles. I pay attention to any belt/pulley noise and nip it in the bud. Recently, I purchased another 2UZ (GX) with 250,000 miles. The fan bearing failed and let steel...

No need to add grease - there's a lot in there.
